I believe the twenty first century might be an amazing time to be alive.
- It seems to me it will be a time of really big changes -- hopefully mostly for the better, in the sense as affecting most people for good.

#push [[flancia]]

[[Flancia]], in all its shapes, tries to define my proposal for a [[protopian]] [[loving kindness]] revolution -- for the [[common good]], through a variety of means, from public viewpoints.
- We will get (we have always gotten) to a better world through a series of well meaning cooperative reforms and revolutions -- those unlocked via solving [[coordination problems]].
- These are my core beliefs: [[in Flancia there is no poverty]], [[in Flancia there is no violence]], [[in Flancia there is an Agora]], [[in Flancia we will meet]].

Revolution in the twenty-first century
[[Revolution]] in the [[21st century]].
You might take it as a factual list of revolutions that have already happened: [[21st-century revolutions]]. There have been plenty of [[revolutionary waves]] already.
You might look forwards and take it as the intent to inspire a world revolution beyond capitalism.
You may find articles related to [[Occupy]], the [[Arab spring]], etc. Also the aftermath e.g. [[Arab Winter]].
What kind of revolution?
First off. What do we mean by revolution. There's various types. I'm a socialist so [[Revolutionary socialism]] is my thing. End of capitalism, onset of socialism is the end goal, and revolution is the means, as opposed to e.g. gradual reform.
That said, a revolution doesn't happen over night, so you have to plant the seeds.
How?
I have anarchist tendencies so favour [[socialism from below]] rather than socialism from above. Though I recognise the need for organisation for any lasting revolution so wish for a [[synthesis of horizontalism and verticalism]].
In the 21st century it seems inevitable that [[the revolution will be networked]] one way or another.
[[Educate, agitate, organise]]. Educate - read and disseminate. Agitate - ? Organise - participate in networks, out of this form [[communities of praxis]].
I believe in [[prefiguration]], so enact the parts of the future you want to see today. Also works for network building.
Join and support [[cooperatives]]. Participate in [[Mutual aid]] and [[Self-governance]]. Form [[affinity groups]]. Become a [[commoner]]. Do all of these both locally and globally. Be part of the [[catalyst group]] for the [[emergent revolution]].
When?
My starting bet for socialism to be solidly the prevalent structure worldwide is: 2099
However "[[the revolution is continuous]]" – [[vera]]
so continuous revolution and revolutionary waves along the way to that point. [[intensive revolution]]s leading to [[extensive revolution]].
